PROJECT COMPONENT/TECHNOLOGY 1 72 km Outer Ring Road Eight-lane road of 50 meters width (6 meter setback on either side), cycle tracks, greenbelts and pavements on both the sides, along with flyovers at major junctions. SN FEATURES CHARACTERISTICS MARKET ASSESSMENT 1 Demand The current population of Kathmandu Valley is estimated to be around 5 million. Population growth and expansion of urban area of Kathmandu is causing huge pressure on existing infrastructure that has resulted on increased demand for new public services. The ORR project aims to not only delineate rural urban boundary and to create integrated infrastructure development corridor but also to create a new and planned settlement for Kathmandu Valley. Management of the population growth and developing valley to a livable urban area through planned urban development is today’s need. 2 Supply Urbanization in Kathmandu valley is taking place haphazardly. Management of of settlement pattern, decentralization of commercial and institutional activities in the peripheral areas of Kathmandu city through the development of new business centers and infrastructure development at different nodal points are difficult to achieve at present condition because of the lack of required infrastructure. The proposed 72 km Outer Ring Road project will connect many isolated nodal points of the areas of Kathmandu valley. So, timely planning intervention is necessary to address the impacts of haphazard urbanization. 3 Opportunity Interconnecting the three cities (Kathmandu, Lalitpur & Bhaktapur) of Kathmandu Valley through a single road network will help to manage urbanization and improve mobility condition of Kathmandu Valley. Land acquisition along the corridor (250 m on either side from the center line of the road) will provide opportunity to develop planned urbanization (for instance, business centers, high rise apartments, institutions etc.) along the road corridor.
